About Tofino Hot Sauce Co.
While sitting around the pub table in Nova Scotia enjoying some of Nova Scotia's iconic 'Dave's World Famous Wing Sauce' the idea for Tofino Hot Sauce was formed. Tofino - the perfect place for an iconic hot sauce, did not yet have one; so creator and flavor-maker, Lise Richard, decided it was up to her to create one.
Since her mother was a school teacher for her career and loves plays on words she said "...and you can call it 'Hot Tuff' because you think you're hot stuff" to which Lise replied, "just for you Ma, I will.". Each flavor contains a unique three chile pepper blend with each chile relating back to a surf adventure or food experience had by Lise. A sweet-vegetable blend is the base to these intensely flavorful sauces that will elevate your tastebuds; not burn your palate.

All Purpose Glass & Surface Cleaner - Blue Dot (500ml)
Streak-free clean for glass, chrome, stainless steel and other hard surfaces.
What makes Blue Dot different? Blue Dot ditched the harsh chemicals that are found in the majority of household cleaners and instead developed a revolutionary cleaning product using only one ingredient - water! No, seriously!
Blue Dot cleaning products are made from purified water which is then ionized to ultra high pH. Blue Dot's production process delivers water at a pH 13.2 to 13.4 – which falls between bleach and drain cleaner, all without the added chemicals.
Blue Dot's products are organic, eco-friendly and 100% natural. What's not to love?!
Ingredients
Ionized water (pH 12+)*
*Not safe to drink.
About Blue Dot
Blue Dot is a family company, started in a garage in North Vancouver BC. They began with the belief that they could make the world a bit cleaner one home at a time by making better cleaning products. Cleaners that don't need scents, toxic chemicals, or extracts like palm oil. Cleaners that are safer for kids, pets, streams and waterways. Cleaners that use less plastic.
As a family they wanted to bring only the best products into their home. Cleaning products are a seemingly small thing that, one home at a time, become a big deal. Toxic chemicals, wasted plastic, even cleared forest for plantations - all of these are small problems that can grow. They believed they could do better.
They looked at technology that has been tried and tested for a long time - ionization - and built on that foundation. They spent two years developing a system that would produce ultra-high pH ionized water that can cut through grease, clean windows and chrome, is safe for use on almost all materials, and can even sanitize surfaces.
Their entire process is food-grade. You can even use their products as a veggie wash or to clean pots and pans (you can't do that with your usual glass cleaner).
Blue Dot cleaners are produced with an initial minimum pH of 13.2, the same pH as oven cleaner. This product (our Concentrate) can be diluted with purified water to make other cleaners, and they use their own purified water to provide individual cleaners or bulk options. We provide products that are highly effective, environmentally friendly, convenient and affordable.
Water is everything to Blue Dot. They donate a portion of profits to water-stewardship through WaterFirst and WaterAid. -

Regular price $10.72Regular priceUnit price / perNo preservatives - vegan - gluten free - handcrafted.
Ingredients
Roma tomatoes, red onion, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, dry peppers, salt.
About MaiiZ
Chef Israel Alvarez Molina hails from Mexico City where Nixtamal Tortillas are essential to the cuisine, culture, and spirit. A reverence for the skillset, knowledge, and respect required to make high-quality, delicious Nixtamal Tortillas from scratch was instilled in him while he worked at Pujol where he rose to the position of Chef de Cuisine. His love for all that Nixtamal Masa provides has, of course, been in his heart forever.
It is this love that he carried with him when he moved to Canada in 2008 that inspired him to start MAiiZ Nixtamal Tortilleria. Chef Israel finds immense joy in making MAiiZ Nixtamal Tortillas in the heart of Victoria’s Chinatown with Organic BC Corn. His hope is that everyone, from the curious home-chef to those like him that grew up with Nixtamal and miss it dearly, will love MAiiZ Tortillas as much as he does.
Nixtamalization is an ancient process by which the dry corn is cooked with slake lime to break down the husk surrounding each kernel. This process allows the human body to properly digest corn while also imbuing it with accessible calcium. Even better, the nixtamalized corn can then be ground into FRESH Nixtamal Masa which makes delicious, pliant, beautiful tortillas that even the finest dry corn flour simply can’t beat. -

About Mr. Cooper's Pies
THE ORIGINAL / OUR FOUNDER
Mr. Norman Cooper as born in Coventry, England in 1914. He travelled to London at the age of 18, where he worked in the food markets. He obtained work with the British Lever Brothers & soon after was sent to Nigeria (British West Africa) where we spent the next twenty years living, marrying & working as a District Trading Officer. Norman then served as a commissioned officer with the British Armed Forces where he “trained and secured his territory for the crown” These were the most wonderful and happiest times of his life – he often regaled his audiences with colorful & entertaining tales of Africa.
YOUR MEAT PIE EXPERTS / OUR HISTORY
This is where Mr. Cooper worked developing a distribution system for the food division of Maple Leaf services (forerunner to the Canadian Armed Forces exchange system) for a number of years. After working as a business consultant in Ottawa for a few years, Norman moved his family to Edmonton where he was employed with developing IGA. That is where he would later come out of retirement to begin Mr. Cooper’s Pie – a chain of restaurants with Mr. Brian Cooper in 1982, at 68 years old. Mr. Cooper’s Pies quickly grew a following for their scrumptious pies around Calgary – successfully expanding to 11 chain restaurants. It was there they sold fresh baked daily quiches, sweet pies, sausage rolls and of course English Meat Pies! Unfortunately, due to the economic crash in Calgary Mr. Cooper’s Pies closed but the timeless recipes lived on through our family – all these years. Brian continued to bake & make pies throughout his children's lives – raising them up on these classic pies!
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY
In March of 2020 when the global Covid-19 pandemic hit – our family, like many others, struggled with the closing of their small businesses. It was at this time that Mr. Brian Cooper teamed up with local community member Shane Dagan, of the Steveston Seafood House. Brian owned a Bed & Breakfast in Richmond for over 20 years and Shane found himself in a similar situation with his restaurant, open since 1978, being closed as well. That is when the family decided to pivot and the resurgence of Mr. Cooper’s Pies began. Mr. Cooper started producing pies out of the Steveston Seafood House. With Shane’s savvy business and community involvement combined with Mr. Cooper’s timeless English Pie recipes – it didn’t take long to amass a loyal local following. They began distributing to local butchers & retailers throughout the lower mainland. Now with over 50 retail accounts – Mr. Cooper’s Pies proudly provides local, handmade pies throughout the Lower Mainland and Victoria! They also recently won “Best Mid-Sized Business of the Year” by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce for 2021. We strongly believe that it was our family’s ability to pivot during these difficult times that secured Steveston Seafood House this prestigious award and we look forward to continuing our expansion throughout the Lower Mainland, British Columbia and beyond!We're Restocking -

About Susgrainable
Marc and Clinton knew they were onto something when they brought Susgrainable to their first farmers' market back in 2018.
People instantly went from "this idea is crazy" to "this idea is awesome" after trying samples of the product! As the weeks progressed, they got busier and busier and had to hire a baker 3 months into the season. Suddenly, what started as a side hustle was a full fledge operation.
Marc and Clinton have a profound mutual respect for each other's skill set and work ethic - it's what binds them together considering how polar opposite they are.
Marc provides a lot of the vision and energy and has believed in this story since day 1. Clinton takes things more day-to-day and sometimes doesn't know how we'll get to the next step... but he has a ton of grit and work ethic and just keeps pushing forward.
The Susgrainable story just keeps getting better and we want you to be a part of it. Grab a mix today and bake up the same goodness our original customers experienced at farmers' market in your very own kitchen!! Let's bring this crazy story to life together! -

Modern science tells us that Pure African Shea Butter is filled with fatty acids to stimulate skin renewal; tocopherols to give shea butter natural antioxidant properties; and cinnamic acid to provide UV protection. Using pure unrefined raw Shea Butter produced by the Kperisi village of northern Ghana, Africa we are able to achieve our goal of operating a business that benefits everyone; the women who make the shea butter, the natural environment and the people who use the product.

May contain: Peanuts and tree NutsLearn About ADIOESMAC
The Association of Integrated Development “OX EEK” Santa Maria Cahabón (ADIOESMAC), founded in 2004, cultivates and sells cacao, cardamom, cinnamon, and chili peppers.
Perched on a mountaintop overlooking the extensive jungled hills of the Cahabón region, the association processes cacao using cascading wooden fermentation boxes and a combination of greenhouse dryers, raised bamboo decks, and drying patios.
Adioesmac has been exporting fine cacao since the early 2000’s. Their cacao beans are distinctively large compared to nearly any other beans you will ever see, and have been whimsically referred to as ‘potato beans’ as a result (referring to their size, and thankfully not their flavour!).
The association plants more cacao trees every year, most of which are planted to reforest areas that had been cleared for the production of “milpa” (or corn) and bean production.
Adioesmac is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with these beans representing the Central American region of cacao production.
About Wallace Craft Chocolate
Wallace Craft Chocolate is a small batch bean-to-bar chocolate company from Victoria, BC, Canada. We make the best tasting stone-ground chocolates and confections using 100% transparently traded chocolate from our single-origin sources. Our Founder, Mark Wallace, has spent the better part of the last decade across Africa, working to help farmers produce high-quality cocoa and sell their cocoa beans to specialty chocolate makers so they could make a better living wage. Upon returning to Canada, he maintained his relationship with cocoa producers, and now buys beans directly from these farmers for a good price. Wallace Craft Chocolate has a deep connection to the West Coast, using combining local ingredients with interesting cocoa beans for exquisite and interesting flavour combinations. We strive to uphold the highest standards in transparency, integrity, and sustainability in everything we do.

About Wychbury Ave
In 2011, I biked over 2000 km on a cycling tour with thirteen other women on The Otesha Project to teach communities about environmental sustainability and social justice. After delivering over 30 performances about how to reduce unnecessary plastics in our everyday life and prevent human rights abuses, I wanted to put those solutions into practice and decided to make my own bath and body products with fair trade and ethically sourced ingredients, using only plastic-free and reusable packaging. In 2014, in the middle of a maternity leave from teaching, I transformed my basement into a soap-making studio and joined a community of like-minded individuals who were starting a farmers market.
Starting with tiny batches of only 7 bars at a time, I made, cut and packaged each batch myself, printing my own labels and learning the ins and outs of business as I went. I found a used bicycle trailer, and started towing my entire market setup back and forth to the Esquimalt Farmers Market each Thursday, began stocking local shops in Victoria with my soaps, and I’m now selling from my online shop at www.wychburyave.com, and at over 12 retailers on Vancouver Island. My dream began as a mission to show others how to enjoy the products we love while reducing waste and caring for people and the planet at the same time. I continue to provide vegan, palm oil-free, and fair trade products through my shop and educate others through workshops and daily insights on social media. Come join me! Let’s plant those seeds and be the change together.
